Downton shrugged. He knew Homer would refuse, so he didn't mention it at all.
Elaine and Celes hugged each other, jumping for joy. With an extra bone, Downton's strength has increased again, and the success rate for winning the Western Region is even greater.
Hutao crossed her arms and kept her eyes moving back and forth between the Sky Ray and the Bone Dragon, evaluating their appearance. In the end, she chose the Bone Dragon. She felt that riding this one was more domineering.
After a quick trot, the little loli jumped onto the back of the bone dragon who had signed a hundred-year contract.
"Human, get out of here, or I will kill you."
The bone dragon roared and stretched out its claws to plunk the walnuts. It had promised to be loyal for a hundred years, but it was not prepared to be a mount. Except for its master, it would not let any humble human being ride on it.
"Then come and kill!" Hu Tao opened the dragon's claws with one strike of his axe. "If you want me to go down, defeat me first."
"Uh!" Bone Dragon was depressed. Not to mention that Downton wouldn't let him kill her. Even if there was a chance of a fair duel, he probably wouldn't be able to kill her. "Are you the human form transformed by the giant dragon? Otherwise, why are you there?
Such great power?"
"How do I know?" Hutao rolled his eyes and urged him, "Quick, fly up, I want to see the sky!"
The Bone Dragon originally planned to refuse, but when he saw the little Loli holding up a battle ax and eager to dismantle his own bones, he quickly gave in and flapped his wings to fly.
In fact, Bone Dragon doesn't have much rebellious mentality in his heart. After all, the little Loli has shown outstanding strength in the battle just now and has been recognized by it.
"Based on your current situation, you have a high chance of being promoted to the dragon-slaying level, which will increase your lifespan by hundreds of years. As long as you stay loyal to the bone dragon for a hundred years, don't you feel that you are losing money?"
The Firebird landed on Downton's shoulder. Although the Bone Dragon was average in strength, he could still be a thug and scare the ministers and lords of those third-rate countries.
"If I still can't impress the bone dragon with my strength and fame in a hundred years, then I might as well die." Downton turned and left. His ambitions didn't stop there.
Looking at Downton's back, Firebird suddenly understood. It turned out that his purpose was just to keep the Bone Dragon by his side for a few years. Indeed, if his rank was high enough and his achievements were big enough, even the giant dragon would choose to surrender.
, after all, there are not a few dragon knights in this world.
"What's next?"
Dimaria caught a ghoul and originally wanted to eat it, but the rotten flesh made him feel nauseated. So he pulled off the ghoul's head with two fingers, as if pulling off a fly, and then inhaled sharply.
A wisp of soul remains flew out of the ghoul's body and entered Dimaria's nostrils.
"Too weak!"
Bang, Di Maria threw away the body and went to catch another one. Anyway, it was idle, so just eat them as snacks.
"Can you stop first!"
Downton frowned. Ghouls were his source of soldiers, and he could not tolerate this kind of waste.
"I'm just going to eat a few of you ghouls. How stingy."
Dimaria muttered and glanced at Juliet, who was staring at it. After all, she didn't dare to make a mistake.
By signing a death contract, the master has absolute power over his slaves. Even if Juliet is extremely weak, he can still use the power of the contract to make the higher demons taste the pain of soul-crushing.
"Let's go to the mana well!"
Downton got on his horse and everyone quickly followed him.
The most important place in the dungeon is not the Duke's palace, but the magic well. It is a magical building built after calculations by the great magician and using a lot of manpower and material resources. It is also the core of a city.
In the Western Continent, large cities with a population of more than 10 million will inevitably have magic wells, because they are the energy source of a city, and they can usually allow magicians who have contributed to the country and promising students to meditate nearby.
Speed up your cultivation and become a strategic resource during war.
The depletion of a city's mana well often means the city's fall.
"It is said that this is technology stolen from the ancient elven kingdom, supplemented by some Titan technology, and evolved into human technology."
Homer for Downton Science.
Strictly speaking, the Mana Well is actually a variant of the Elf Moon Well. For this plagiarized building, the elves even launched a war against humans, but in the end the war ended after both sides lost nearly 10 million soldiers.
Humans will not give up the magic wells, because with their appearance, humans, like the elves, have learned to draw magic energy from nature. Through this method, they have increased the number of magic users and increased the speed of advancement.
Magicians are a symbol of a country's strength. The more there are, the more powerful they are, which means the country has a stronger say in the Western Continent.
Placido was only at the dragon-slaying level and had already become the Duke of the West. However, among the nine empires, he only had the status of a minor lord, because although dragon-slaying levels were not numerous, they were not so rare either.
The concentration of magic energy in the energy well is more than ten times that of ordinary areas, so the strong men in the dungeon live there. Downton thought on his heels, and knew that there would be several fierce battles next, but with the Firebirds and the others sitting in charge, he
Not afraid either.
"Master, there is a group of death knights stationed there. They are very scary." Bones persuaded Downton, "By the way, there is also a middle-aged knight who once cut off the skull dragon's thigh bone with a sword."
"Besides them, are there any other strong men?"
Downton has already confirmed that Repentance of the Dead is of no use to Death Knights, otherwise he could have an extra Death Knight Cavalry Regiment.
"Yes, Duke of Death is the real owner of this underground city, but he has been sleeping. As long as we don't provoke him, we will be fine."
Bones saw that none of these people showed any fear, so he had no choice but to continue admonishing, "We must prepare early, otherwise we won't be able to escape."
"Are you looking down on me?" Di Maria snorted coldly, "I want that Duke's soul."
The Mana Well is a magnificent tower building with twenty-six floors, but the real valuable area is underground.
When Downton and his entourage arrived, they saw the Bone Dragon landing on the square in front of the tower. No matter how much Hu Tao urged, he refused to move forward.
"If I go any further, I will be killed."
Bone Dragon shook his head like a rattle.
Everyone lowered their voices. No one would underestimate a strong man who would scare even a bone dragon. Downton was fearless, but that didn't mean he was an arrogant fool.
"Jackson, you go scouting!"
Downton's words immediately made the ghoul's face turn bitter. It slid to its knees and threw itself in front of its owner, hugging its calf and crying.
"Master, I don't want to die. For the sake of my fighting for you, let me go." Jackson pointed at Di Maria, "Let him go."
"Believe it or not, I will crush you to death?"
Seeing a dishonest ghoul, Di Maria was surprised and laughed out loud, but was soon affected.
As a super beast, the high-level demon is not afraid of fighting, but it is not the kind of idiot without intelligence. If you want it to explore the way, there is no way!
"I go!"
The Firebird was very curious about the strong man in the tower and volunteered. However, a minute after flying in, the tall tower door opened, and a group of death knights wearing white light armor rushed out. They had a sword on their crotches.
The Skeleton Horse of Water.
These war horses are the standard equipment of the death knight, making them priceless pure-blooded war horses. They are then created through necromancy, arcane magic, and the potions of the death apothecary.
These war horses are all made of bones, but they are filled with green light, and they are all wearing vests. Not only do they not look ugly, but they have a strange and gorgeous beauty.
The two eyes of the war horse are green, and they have long and narrow horns with spiral patterns. They can run tens of thousands of miles in a day, and will never feel tired until their bodies collapse.
"Humans, get out of here or die!"
A centurion leader stepped out from the crowd, pointing his sword of frost and snow at Downton in the distance.
"Uncle Duobang!"
Celes suddenly shouted and ran over happily.
The death knight with green pupils didn't even remember who Celes was. With a wave of his sword, a green magic blade shot out.
Downton was startled and quickly reached out to pull Celes.
call out!
The magic energy blade shot past Celes and directly destroyed the wall dozens of meters away.
"Judgment level?"
Jackson's eyes were twitching wildly. Fortunately, he didn't go in, otherwise he would be dead.
"Uncle Duobang, it's me, Celes!"
The Death Banshee is very sad. Why doesn’t her uncle, who always plays with her, recognize her? She can also name the death knights behind her.
"They are different from you. They are death knights transformed through rituals, and most of their memories have been lost." Homer comforted, "Unless there is a great magic, there is still a possibility of awakening."
Woohoo!
Celes cries and Elaine comforts her.
"Looking at their equipment, they should belong to the Snowman Empire. Why should they help the Duke of Death protect the tower?" Downton frowned. The Templars were so devout in their faith that even if they committed suicide, they would not be willing to become undead, let alone such a large number of degenerates.
Already.
"They must have fallen into a conspiracy. With the Duke's methods, it is not difficult to make them collectively fall." Homer guessed correctly.
When the undead plague ravaged Borusna, these paladins were very powerful, and with Hiller's protection, they all managed to survive the first few days.
After Hohenzollern transformed into the Duke of Death, he saw that the city was hit by Lu Chenshu, and he didn't know where he landed. In order to plan for the future with his son, he coaxed the knights to negotiate and found a way to escape, and finally led them into the layout.
trap and perform the depravity ritual.
Including the most elite knights under the Duke's command, a total of 3,000 people were trapped in the ceremony, and only 400 people survived in the end.
Becoming death knights, they forgot their previous memories and devoted all their loyalty to the Duke of Death.
Downton waved his hand and threw a hammer of punishment.
Almost at the same time, all the death knights activated their soul shields, firstly to resist, but also to warn.
"Humans, I say this for the last time, get out of here!" Duobang stepped out from the crowd with a solemn tone, "Otherwise, if you disturb the Duke's sleep, you will all die."
"I, Di Polo, are all at the Judgment level!"
Jackson was dumbfounded. These death knights were surrounded by iris-shaped shields, with at least three sides, which meant that they were all Judgment level.
"Wait a minute, the cost of performing the degeneration ritual is very huge. Even if it succeeds, the rank will have to drop by at least one major step. Doesn't that mean that these knights were at the dragon-slaying level before?"
As a priest, Elaine knew more about the corruption ritual, so she was even more shocked.
"It's normal. Have you seen the badges on their chests?" Homer said without any surprise.
Everyone nodded. The armors of these knights were all imprinted with a snow falcon pattern with wings spread. Even after thousands of years, you can still feel the momentum of soaring thousands of miles.
"They belong to the Knights of the Holy Snow Falcon, which was the most elite legion of the Sherman Empire that was once powerful enough to compete with the nine empires." Homer Science.
Everyone was relieved. They could receive the Pope's blessing and be crowned with the word "Holy" in their name. There were only more than a hundred knights in the entire continent. Their power was beyond doubt, and these knights had passed the test with a mortality rate of more than a hundred.
Ninety percent of the depraved rituals are carried out, and those who remain are naturally the best of the best.
"I remembered that Uncle Duo Gang was of the scepter rank and Uncle Hiller was of the marshal rank. They escorted my brother and I to Saint Jutland to attend the King's birthday ceremony. Unexpectedly, we were involved in the war along the way."
Celes's memory fragments were recovering, and she saw those horrific war scenes again, screamed, and fainted.
"Elaine, take care of her!" Downton hesitated. After all, these people were Celes' acquaintances. He didn't want to kill them, but he couldn't take down the tower without killing them. "Homer, isn't there a way to conquer them?"
"Yes, but you can't do it." Homer directly eliminated Downton's luck, "attack, with Firebird and Dimaria here, we can't lose, and killing them will also let their bound souls get away.
Redemption.”
"There are no restraints. I feel that life is good!"
Jackson said something more, but Quasimodo kicked him aside.
"Di Maria, I leave it to you!"
Downton didn't want his hands to be stained with the blood of Celeste's uncles.
"Hey, I can't wait for a long time. The souls of these death knights are very powerful and are the best tonics." Dimaria smiled strangely, and a black magic bullet appeared in his right hand, which hit the knights directly.
The knights were not afraid and charged towards Dimaria. With a wave of Dobang's sword, a purple halo exploded, adding magical effects to his subordinates.
At the same time, a purple halo with a radius of half a meter appeared under the feet of each knight. Just as the Paladin can bless human soldiers, the Death Knight can also bless any undead and demonic units. It is the strongest
One of the auxiliary arms.
boom!
The magic energy bomb exploded on the ground, causing rubble to fly. Dimaria rushed a few steps, and the death knights were already close, slashing with their long swords.
Dimaria slapped her big hand on the ground. Amidst the dust, the war horse neighed and angry shouts came one after another.
One by one, the death knights were knocked away, but they didn't care. They got up and continued charging. Their fearlessness and fearlessness made Downton extremely envious.
"I really want to have them!"
Downton sighed, and was about to order the Abomination to fight, when a crescent-shaped magic blade shot out and hit Dimaria's body. The skin was torn open and blood flew everywhere. (To be continued...)
ps: Sorry, I forgot to write the title of the last chapter, it was 'Surrender'!
